BELL BEND NUCLEAR POWER PLANTRESPONSE TO ENVIRONMENTALRAI'S: SCHEDULE UPDATEBNP-2010-108 Docket No. 52-039

Reference: Letter from S. Imboden (U.S. NRC) to R.R. Sgarro (PPL), "Requests forAdditional Information Related to the Environmental Review for the CombinedLicense Application for Bell Bend Nuclear Power Plant," dated July 10, 2009.

The purpose of this letter is to update the NRC staff on the schedule for responding to theremaining environmental requests for additional information (RAI's) that were issued in thereferenced correspondence to PPL Bell Bend, LLC (PPL). These RAI's address environmentalissues as discussed in Part 3 of the Bell Bend Nuclear Power Plant Combined LicenseApplication.

The enclosure provides the current ER RAI response status and the planned submittal dates forthe remaining responses.

As the staff is aware, PPL is currently inthe process of developing COLA changes to reflect thedecision to move the plant footprint within the existing project boundary ini order to avoidimpacts to wetlands. The following RAI's are affected by the footprint change, and the reviseddates reflect Current plans for updating the associated sections of the BBNPP COLA:MET 2.7-1, AE 4.3-2, STO 2.1-1, H 4.2-1, LU 3..7-1, LU 4.1-1, LU 5.1-1, LU 5.1-2, TE 2.4-6,TE 2.4-7, TE 2.4-8, TE 4.3-1, TE 4.3-2, TE 4.3-4, TE 4.3-7, TE 4.3-8, TE 4.3-10, USACE-la,USACE-!b, USACE-2a, USACE-2e, and USACE-2f.

In addition, for RAI STO 2.1-1, the staff previously requested that PPL submit TIFF files forseven figures, both in color and in black and white. Two of those Figures, 2.2-1 and 2.4-7, bothcontained in August 10, 2009, RAI responses, are affected by the aforementioned plant footprintchange, and the revised date in the enclosure reflects our current plans'for updating theassociated sections of the BBNPP COLA, as noted above.

The other five figures (Figures 1 through 3, which were included in response to RAI GEO 2.6-1on September 11, 2009, and Figures 2.3-21 and 2.3-22 from the BBNPP COLA ER) are notavailable in the requested formats as these figures were extracted from documents for whichPPL does not have native files.
